Aquarius. Metalhead. Coffee Addict. Work in progress. I write horror, sff, poetry, and audio dramas. Occasionally dabble in metal journalism. Objects in mirror are not as they appear.

Haven't been on here much but when I do pop in I'm always surprised at how many cool Maine and New England horror people on here I didn't know. Here is a starter pack to follow from the New England Horror Writers. Please follow and share!

Hi! I know many of you. Some from way back on livejournal and myspace
Please allow me to introduce myself:

I write horror/sff/poetry/audio. I like cats, metal, horror, trees, art, nature, dance movies, coffee, gardens, witchy things, and creative artsy types. Kind of an introvert.

Introducing “The Still Folk”, a unique combination of art and prose. Delving into the dark origins of fairy tales and drawing from various sources including the Child Ballads, folk songs, and mythology, “The Still Folk” is a collaboration between myself and artist Ogmios.

I have advance copies of WHEN YOU LEAVE I DISAPPEAR ... I am looking for reviewers, podcasters, whatever. I need to spread the word. Thoughts? Will sign. Will add drawings, write a one-of-a-kind haiku. Someone needs these.

112 years ago tonight, the Titanic struck an iceberg, as a result of hubris, greed and denial. It wouldn’t happen now, of course, as all the icebergs seem to be melting. For the same reasons.

FYI, if you use Dropbox, they automatically opted us all in for “Third-Party AI” which is shady as hell.

To fix, log into the desktop site, click on your account icon>settings>third party AI and turn it off.
